I'll be real with you guys - if you don't have an account yet and are thinking of getting one, my advice is: don't. There's nothing you can do there that you can't already do here, and this site has double the functionality of Gorilla Gong. It's got potential but until they make some major strides in what you can actually do on the site I don't think it's worth it. The best I can recommend is maybe browsing it without an account and going direct to any creators you find on the site.
And to those of you that are already on the site... you have my sympathies.
Hi there, I don't frequently check the GG email, I will look into it. Do you have the same username as on this forum?

I want to make something clear that seems to keep coming up. The right to be forgotten does not mean that your account must be deleted. First I'm in America and the servers hosting the website are in America. This means that it doesn't fall under GDPR. Under Google v. Garcia this extension of European rights into America was ruled unconstitutional. Second, GDPR does not include "Every single post since the beginning of time." GDPR means that I'm required to remove personally identifying information from the site. If, for example, you put photos of yourself up, your name, attached your birthday or address to your account, I must delete those. If I wanted to be pedantic, GDPR even gives me the right to request government ID and a long series of forms. In short, I delete this data (from GG that's the site I own) because I hate it when web-admins don't do it for me, and I try to be nice.
Now regarding your post @kerdios, you're suggesting that this user takes legal action (against me) and suggesting that they might profit from it. Not only would it probably not pay out, you could be held responsible for their fees and damages. It sure looks like you're giving legal advice, even if you were licensed to do so which I'm suspecting you're not. Practicing law (advising of rights and penalties) without a license is illegal in the EU and America.
In short, nose out.
